ICT Consults SPSS survey and market research solutions are renowned within the industry as the benchmark

for analysis. Choose from the entire spectrum of analysis from top lines and tabulation to advanced discovery and modeling methods to data mining. The process can be automated as part of an integrated solution, so that all you see on your desktop or via your browser are the interactive results. Data Management Before you can discover hidden trends or run predictive modeling on data, you've got to get it ready! Survey data may require manipulation, cleaning & weighting, and coding before analysis so that the results are more significant. From coding of verbatim responses to plugging in missing values, ICT Consults helps you with SPSS tools so as you prepare the data that has got even clearer insight. Our SPSS data preparation & data handling software include: mrStudioSuperior data management and more built on the Dimensions Technology Platform SPSS BaseMake better decisions with better analysis SPSS Missing Value AnalysisFill in the blanks with missing data QuantumQuickly clean, weight & tabulate data VerbastatCode open-end responses SPSS Text Analysis for SurveysCategorize open-ended survey responses using linguistic technologies and manual techniques

Tabulation Tabulation, frequencies and electronic code-books (ECB) is by far the most common analyses for the survey and market research industries. But that doesn't have to mean reams of printed tables! Of course, you can still edit, manipulate and weight the data accordingly, and run it through the tabulation process at record speeds. What are new are the options you have for the output, which you can determine based on your information needs. Whatever your tabular needs, we can provide the tools and the right environment. Some of the tabulation solutions include: mrTables - Web based tabulation or desktop, very user-friendly SPSS Tables - effectively communicate results (module of SPSS Base) SPSS Exact Tests - accurate analysis of small datasets (module of SPSS Base) Quantum - quickly clean, weight & tabulate day Quanvert - create tables on your desktop from a Quanvert database

Data Segmentation In this age of one-click purchasing & permission marketing, many seek the Holy Grail in click stream analysis rather than a traditional segmentation. However, any decent marketer knows the ability to categorize and build actions around consumer motivations is more important than ever. Market & customer segmentations provide invaluable insight for building business, and product segmentation helps businesses build strong brands. As the defector industry standard analytical & segmentation tools, ICT Consults provides you with SPSS solutions that allow you to quickly analyze data so that you can turn the results into a plan of action.

Protective Modeling and Forecasting Make better business decisions by applying the latest and most trusted predictive modeling techniques to your data. Sure, analysis can tell you how things are now and historically even picking out trends over time. But with predictive modeling you take that one step further. Researchers can look into the future by setting some basic assumptions, and then applying predictive modeling analytics to data. The results are a look at how things might be in the future, which can greatly assist with major decision-making. Our SPSS predictive modeling and forecasting software include: AnswerTree - decision-tree algorithms DecisionTime/WhatIf? - Create sophisticated forecasts SPSS Categories - predict categorical outcomes SPSS Conjoint - understand customer preferences SPSS Regression Models - make better predictions SPSS Trends - predict trends

Data Mining Perhaps the most sophisticated and all-encompassing application for discovering hidden information, data mining has become a standard for researchers and business executives who need to make important, educated decisions. Used alone on survey data, or mined with enterprise information systems, data mining tools can help uncover principal factors along the road to success. Turn Unstructured Text Into Meaningful Data Verbatim responses, or open-ends, can provide great insight into your targets thoughts, attitudes and behaviors. Whats more, with the advent of online surveys, responses to open-ended questions appear to be more intimate and lengthy more information for you to pull out of there. Our SPSS solutions offer both coding and text mining solutions that can help you turn unstructured text into meaningful data that can be useful on its own, but especially when mined with other data sources for maximum insight. Our SPSS products include: SPSS Text Analysis for Surveys: Enables survey researchers to categorize openended survey responses using linguistic technologies and manual techniques Text Mining for Clementine: Enables data miners to obtain greater value from any text data while using Clementine Verbastat: Enables researchers to code open-ended survey questions by leading them through a manual process
